Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2010 Intercity Bus Security Grant Program (IBSGP) was a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA to help reduce security risks facing the nations intercity and charter bus systems, particularly the risk of terrorism. The program was positioned as one part of a broader set of congressionally authorized homeland security measures meant to strengthen critical infrastructure. A central premise behind the grant is that most U.S. critical infrastructure is not federally owned, but instead is operated by state and local entities and, especially in this case, private sector transportation companies. As a result, IBSGP funding was designed to directly support eligible bus operators in making practical security improvements that enhance preparedness and resilience in higher-risk locations.
For FY 2010, the program was listed under funding opportunity number DHS 10 GPD 057 000 01 and carried the CFDA number 97.057 (Intercity Bus Security Grants). The total estimated funding available was $11,520,000, with an expectation of roughly 100 awards. Awards were provided as grants, and the opportunity included a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients were expected to contribute their own resources toward the overall project costs in addition to federal funds.
Eligibility was focused on owners and operators of fixed route intercity bus services and charter bus companies that serve Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) jurisdictions. For charter operators, the solicitation set a clear activity threshold: to qualify, a company had to make at least 50 trips per year to one or more UASI jurisdictions. The program also organized applicants into two tiers. Tier I was reserved for companies operating 250 or more over-the-road buses and providing the highest volumes of service into high-risk urban areas, reflecting an emphasis on protecting routes and operations with greater exposure and potential impact. Tier II covered all other applicants that still met the baseline eligibility requirements, allowing smaller or less extensive operators serving UASI areas to compete for funding as well.
In terms of purpose and use, IBSGP funds were primarily intended to support the security-related work of intercity and charter bus operators. While the summary information does not list specific allowable projects, the framing makes clear the intent was to fund measures that improve preparedness, protection, and risk reduction for bus operations connected to high-risk urban environments, consistent with DHS homeland security preparedness priorities.
Key timeline details show the opportunity was posted on December 8, 2009, with an original closing date of February 12, 2010 that was later extended to February 18, 2010. The record indicates an archive date of March 20, 2010. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to DHS CSID support at (800) 368-6498 or askcsid@dhs.gov, and FEMA support through the FEMA Call Center at (866) 927-5646 and ASK-GMD@dhs.gov.
